Hi Simon,
I'm sorry to say that I've tried and failed to set up 64-bit R 2.9.2
and JGR.
(1) It's not clear to me where on http://r.research.att.com/ to
download from. (I searched for "snow", since all else assumed that I
know what I'm doing.)
(2) I don't understand why you say (below) to download 2.9.0 rather
than 2.9.2.
So could you please give step by step fool-proof instructions? (Right
now, after fiddling, I can't launch R or JGR.)
Thanks,
Michael
